Strapi Login logout after page refresh

I am having trouble keeping $strapi.user persistent. I can login fine and cookies and local storage is also set, but upon a page request the user gets logged out straight away.

Is this expected behaviour?

I have tried following:

  strapi: {
    url: "http://localhost:8086",
    key: 'authi_jwt',
    expires: '1d',  
    cookie: {}
  },

To keep the session from expiring …

@tobias-srf I fixed this issue by completely clearing the application cache (I was using Google Chrome) and modifying my options object to the following:

strapi: {
  url: 'https://strapi.mydomain.net',
  key: 'authToken',
  expires: '7d',
  cookie: {
    sameSite: true,
    path: '/'
  }
}

Upon inspecting my Network tab when it would redirect me to /login and display I wasn’t logged in, I found some duplicate cookies which I’m assuming is what was causing the issue. I hope this helps!

@benjamincanac I think I found the issue. I am using docker and run nuxt and strapi on the same instance. I have a port forwarding set aside for either application. If I tell nuxt to use the port forwarded port for strapi I get the issue.

If I use the internal url via nuxt 127.0.0.1:1337 I get the /user/me GET call and everything is fine and the user stays logged in!

So it looks like it is a partial network issue …

Thank you! For me this worked. Setting an url to the strapi module fixed the issue. While local development the call to strapi was over localhost. Changing strapi’s url in nuxt config to http://127.0.0.1:1337 fixed it.

expires: '30d', url: http://127.0.0.1:1337, cookie: { path: '/', },
